Thief River Falls Community Education

Electric bicycles, or e-bikes, are rapidly transforming the way people commute, exercise, and explore the world. With their electric-assist feature, e-bikes make cycling more accessible to a broad range of individuals, regardless of age or fitness level. However, this added technology brings new responsibilities and skill requirements—making e-bike training courses increasingly important. By the end of the course, participants will understand the different types and classes of e-bikes and their components, know local laws and regulations related to e-bike usage, learn basics on how to maintain, charge, and care for an e-bike, recognize safety precautions, including helmet use and visibility strategies, and gain confidence navigating various environments, from urban streets to bike paths and trails.
